Did Obama Sign Executive Order Creating DOJ Interpol Office With Immunity from Subpoena?

It’s late, so I don’t have time to look into this further, but it appears legitimate. This is shocking.

Death By 1000 Paper Cuts has the details:

Here’s one take that paints a disturbing–but accurate–picture. Hint: not much paint is needed.

From Executive Orders and Trojan Horses:

Nudge, nudge folks… This seems a minor change but let us break it out for you as we see it. Let’s look at the section from Executive Order 12425.

Here’s the text of 2(c), which this Executive Order now has applying to Interpol:

(c) Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable.

This now says that Interpol is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Their premises or staff can no longer be searched either. Their files are not subject to legal subpoena or discovery. Our government could just hand documents and files over to Interpol and Americans would no longer have access to them. Interpol can legally keep files now on all citizens of the US with no right to redress.

In reality, we have just handed over our sovereignty. Interpol headquarters in the US is currently headquartered in the Department of Justice. A ‘separate’ Interpol agency has been created in the DOJ – let that sink in for a moment. Interpol has been granted diplomatic immunity now by Obama – they have exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, US taxes and immunity from FOIA requests, etc. This action could also be used to divulge American military secrets and a whole host of horrific practices having to do with going after our military. It’s the road to internationalism on steroids. …..

Where’s the media?

Update: Here’s the executive order signed by Ronald Reagan. Here’s the executive order amending Reagan’s order, signed by Barack Obama. Via The Anchoress on Twitter.

Any lawyers out there? Is this legal?
